NOTE: Due to copyright laws, files on this page had to be taken down. However, lists which are even more efficient and comprehensive are in development and will be released soon. To stay tuned. The Classroom/School Bee is the first step of the journey for most spellers, and usually occurs in either December or January. Depending on the school, you may first be required to win/place high enough in your Classroom Bee to advance to the School Bee. The list for the 2017-2018 school year hasn’t been released yet, but every year there are 450 words, organized by grade, with an extreme variety of difficulty.
For the Classroom Bee, you are usually only asked to spell the word list for your grade and up. However, for the School Bee, it’s important to study every word, even the ones that are not categorized in your grade level. Generally, even the toughest words on the list are pretty doable, but it’s best to be safe and make sure you have every word cold. VERY IMPORTANT: as of 2014, some Classroom/School Bees test vocabulary. If this is the case, you will need to learn the definitions of all of these words in addition to their spelling.
Find out as soon as possible if your school will do this. Also, sometimes School Bees are run slightly unconventionally, so it’s actually possible that they will use the list after the school list is exhausted. This only occurs in a small number of cases, so it’s best to know the school list first. Once you make it past the school list’s words, the bee will move to “Additional Words,” which are the words not on any Scripps-provided study list. The Additional Words for the Classroom and School Bees tend to stay pretty tame and are spelled like they sound.

The Bee's includes engaging, grade-appropriate books for elementary and middle school students. What's the best part?
